Together Forever

This painting was inspired by a campsite in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge near Yuma, AZ, during our very first year of van dwelling. These two saguaro were young compared to others in the area. When a saguaro is 6 to 8 feet tall, it is 35 to 70 years old, and they begin to develop arms at 75 to 100 years of age, which is pretty remarkable. This pair stood next to our campsite, and every time I glanced over, it felt like I was witnessing a tender moment between a couple as they took in the view.
